The Nordstrom Anniversary Sale is here! I had a ball shopping the Nordstrom Anniversary Sale with my friends yesterday! To be honest, I was a little leery of the Sale this year. Last year, we didn’t have much of a winter in Houston, so I didn’t get to wear very much of what I purchased. This year, I just kept it fun and only picked up what I loved, and lucky me, there were a lot of transitional pieces. Plus, once I got there, all my leeriness went away completely… Ha! Right now, it’s early access for card members only. If you want to shop the sale right now but don’t have a card, click here and sign up.
Without further ado, let’s shop the shoes! The sizing information is based on my experience. There were so many really great shoes, but here are my very favorites:
Kate Spade– I freaked out over these shoes! I love them! They are sneakers, but the tassels, the kiltie fringe, and the grey suede make them way cuter than average sneakers, am I right? Plus, they’re distinctly feminine, which I could use after my favorite “manly” looking high tops. Ha! These are going to look great with all my jeans! Sizing: Runs large; order 1/2 size down.
Treasure & Bond– I LOVE these black flats! I have always loved the feminine look of a ballet slipper, and the dainty ankle strap takes the femininity up a notch! Sizing: True to size.
Halogen– I have been searching for a pair of silver metallic shoes for the longest time. In fact, I ordered a pair last year but didn’t keep them because of the price point. Not only do I love this pair because of the price point, but I also love them because they are a mule, which makes them transitional! Sizing: True to size.
VINCE– If there is one color that is trending in the shoe department, it’s pink! How pretty are these pink loafers?!? You can pretty much wear an all neutral outfit and throw these on for a pop of color! LOVE! Sizing: Runs large; order 1/2 size down.
Sam Edelman– Last year, I realized I didn’t have a pair of black booties, so I wore the snot out of my black high tops (I know, you know. Ha!) Well, this year I will have an alternative. I am in love with these black booties. The back being down gives them an edgy, cool, effortless feel. I love the way they look with skinny jeans! Sizing: True to size.
BP– I missed out on this bootie look last year, so I was happy to see that BP is offering this look at a reasonable price point. Sizing: Runs small; order 1/2 size up.
Steve Madden– My friend tried these on, and she looked so hot in them, I had to try them on, too. I am in love with them. These will be my heel for the winter. I can wear them with jeans, pants, dresses, and skirts. Plus, they had this magical slimming and elongation effect on our legs. It’s a miracle boot! Ha! Sizing: True to size.
Cole Haan – I could work a whole day in these wedges and not complain! They’re not too high, the wedge makes them sturdy, and they are so pretty! I love the sweet cross at the ankle! Sizing: True to size.
I love tennis shoes! And this year’s Nordstrom Anniversary Sale did not disappoint!
Treasure & Bond– I love these tennis shoes because they have throwback elements but are also updated! They are kinda preppy and kinda edgy at the same time. Is that even possible? HA! Sizing: True to size.
Adidas– I love the oyster color and white of these adidas. We’ve all seen the standard colors, so this color combination is refreshing! Sizing: Runs large; order next size down.
Cole Haan– Last year, I had a lot of people tell me that they loved my black high tops but didn’t feel comfortable wearing high tops themselves. Well, here is a great alternative! How cute are these black velvet tennis shoes?!? The laces have a leather sheen to them. Plus, they’re Cole Haan, so they’re really good quality! Sizing: True to size.
Puma– I was almost done shopping the shoes when I saw a cute girl trying on these tennis shoes, and then, of course, I HAD to have them! HAD TO! HA! Sizing: Runs large; order 1/2 size down.
And last but not least, MY FAVORITE NO-SHOW SOCKS are on SALE! These are the only no shows that I’ve found that don’t slide down! I love them! I bought three pairs, and I have a whole drawer full already. Ha!
That’s it for shoes! What are your favorites? I’m dying to know!
I love the silver mules.
YASSSS! I love those, too! For being the first to comment on your favorite pair, we’d like to send you a pair of your favorite silver mules! Can you send us your address and shoe size?
Those silver mules are the bomb
Oh my GOODNESS….and that’s just the shoes? Heading to the sale this morning…had my eye on several that you got but you piqued my interest in some more!
I’ll have to say, the shoe section definitely had the strongest offering. The other sections were great but not nearly as great as the shoes!
LOVE the Kate Spade and Vince! Hope they have my size by the time I get there.
I’m wearing my Kate Spade’s today! I couldn’t wait! Did you see the other colors the VINCE loafer comes in? The brown is so pretty!
I love the silver mules also but in the leopard pattern. You always have great finds. Thanks for doing all the leg work
Oooooo, I didn’t see the leopard! Cute!
Yikes! Not really lovin’ many of these (or i have WAY too many pairs of similar shoes already). Come on Nordstrom! Love your blog Carly. FYI…ankle strap wedges are Cole Haan, not Kate Spade.
I fixed it. Thank you for the heads up!
I’m all over those Kate Spade sneakers. And I agree, those Nike socks are the best- I’m stocking up!
I wore mine today! They were too cute not to -ha!
So helpful! I love those Vince loafers! Were you the same size in them that you are in your Vince high tops? I have the high tops (I’m obsessed!) – wondering if I’ll wear the same size in the loafers?
Good question! I just checked my high tops and they are an 8, so the same fit as the loafer. I guess I go down 1/2 a size in VINCE!
The Kate Spade fringe are my favorite shoe of the whole anniversary sale – purchased them, of course!
Me, too!
Hi! I’ve been following you on Instagram for some time now and I really like your style. I felt I had to comment because I recently got a pair of sneakers that is very similar to the tasseled Kate Spade ones. Check them out: https://www.zalando.co.uk/franco-russo-napoli-slip-ons-taupe-lumier-dark-gold-fn211e000-b11.html Isn’t it a great style?
I love those! Thank you for sharing! If the Kate Spade shoes don’t get restocked, I’m going to recommend this pair!
The j.crew graphic tee, is it a new arrival? It’s sold out at Nordstrom and I couldn’t find it at j.crew.
Eeeeek! I think it’s exclusive to the Nordstrom Anniversary Sale.
OMG, the tennis shoes! Love them all. How many pairs of tennis shoes can a girl legitimately own?!!! Quite a few, right!
If there was any category of shoe to own a lot of, tennis shoes seem to be the right and logical choice, right? Ha! #myrational
Carly! Love all your sale pics and pics of it! Do you know if they are going to restock the Vince Milo Loafers for the public sale? Dying for the hydrangea ones 🙂 I heard they weren’t going to restock the Kate Spade Tassel ones that everyone loves. Thanks for all you time and energy on this stuff!
Hi, Thanks for your comment! I don’t know, I wish I did. If I see they restock them, I’ll let you know. Thanks for reading!
